I thought I would fall off my chair when reading how many people seem to use sheets for backs of quilts. You are right that the density of sheets makes it hard for the needle to go through it and I never use sheets for backing of any of my quilted projects, if you keep checking you can find great quality cotton at the close out section of your LQS to match the quality of the cotton on top. I took the "Clothing and Textile Advisers" course at my local Cooperative Extension a number of years ago and we studied how fabric was made.
